Hello.. not to hijack the thread but Terry bought the car that required 'some assembly'. He is almost done with hit. I saw it a few days ago and it is about 99% assembled. The base/clear black paint looks about a mile deep when you see the reflection in it. He was having problems with the dropped spindles, big brakes, and hotchkiss(spelling?) upper control arms. It was causing the tires to be pushed too far out and rub the inner fenders. This was with both the aftermarket rims/tires and with t-type stock rims. I am guessing the backspacking is the same on the stock t-type rims and GN rims. The front suspension is so low, when the car is just sitting on the ground, you cannot get your fingers between the tire and fender. He got a parts non-turbo Regal for many of the nuts/bolts/brackets that did not come with the car. He was thinking about taking the stock suspension from it (mainly the upper control arms, spindles, and maybe brakes) and putting it on the GN just so he can get it rolling. I know Terry is going to end up selling the car when he finishes it. He will have it done for the 11/3 show at Royal and probably put a big for sale sign on it.

Sounds good to me, but....
Let's get some real torque and pull the turbo motor back out of the GN. LOL
